Recently I have been discussing spare parts inventory for roastery operations with several coffee people and nobody gives the same answer. Some treat it as small detail, some say it changes the whole...
throwing this here because the topic is getting louder and my confidence is not getting better. The cleaner the paperwork looks, the more I worry someone skipped messy reality forum talk makes it...
saya perhatikan makin banyak roastery yang mention sustainability di marketing mereka. ada yang pakai kata "eco-friendly", "ethical sourcing", ada yang sampai kejar sertifikasi Rainforest Alliance...
awal 2024, Houthi mulai serang shipping di Laut Merah. dalam waktu singkat, sekitar 15-30% volume container global harus reroute lewat Cape of Good Hope. tambah 2-3 minggu transit, tambah biaya bahan...
Some importers say freight insurance sounds good on paper, but when green coffee quality drops after delay, humidity, or rough handling, the claim is very hard to win. The coffee is not fully...
Recently I have been discussing timing roaster software updates with several coffee people and nobody gives the same answer. Some treat it as small detail, some say it changes the whole workflow. I...
virtual coffee tasting sessions now looks like one of those ideas that can either become strong long-term asset or just another busy project. I am interested in the boring reality behind it...
seeing more of this lately and still not sure the market is processing it honestly. Shared lab access could help small brands if maintenance politics did not show up so fast it sounds good in decks...

mau nanya yang paling basic dulu nih, semoga ada yang mau jelasin selama ini kalau order kopi di cafe selalu pilih medium karena kayaknya paling aman. tapi sebenernya perbedaan light, medium, sama...
gw notice ada shift aneh nih. banyak cafe baru buka dengan nama dan visual yang nuansanya "coffee vibes" tapi pas liat menu, 60-70% minumannya teh, matcha, atau non-coffee. ini strategi atau memang...
